I haven’t thought about it but really my wallet serves one purpose these days. To carry a small amount of cards like debit, credit, rewards cards, insurance, etc but is really only used if tap to pay isn’t available. If I have cash, it’s for a reason.
Back in the 2000s I used to carry a money clip til the spring broke on me and I lost $300ish. That was back when I carried cash almost exclusively and when that amount of money could absolutely break me financially.

How did the spring breaking make you lose the $300? Were you holding it over niagara falls when it broke?

Nah it didn’t break completely, just was no longer clamped as tight. Cash fell out of the middle of the folded stack into my pocket. At some point over a few days I noticed loose cash in my pocket, counted, and realized I had money missing. Since it was loose who knows when it fell out of my pocket. I tried to retrace my steps but had no luck. Yes I had been wearing the same jeans and not emptying them at night don’t judge me!
Back then I’d cash my paycheck and carry it around in a money clip like the dumbass kid that I was. Fortunately I never got robbed.
